Bachelard's Panty Drawer with Vanessa Raine

On today's show I talked with "multipotentialite adult adoptee" Vanessa Raine about FAMILY. To rhyme with the theme I played songs by The Temptations, Gaby Moreno, Angel Olsen, Barış Manço, Kimya Dawson, Sam Rappa, Dolly Parton and many others.

Care Package

Mailbox treats from my mom and grandma dot:

Grandpa and his Cathode Ray Tube

This picture is my favorite. 

Grandma Dot's Waitress Pin

My Gma Dot was a waitress for over twenty years. She wore this very pin on her lapel for each and every shift.  

Grandma Dot's Scarf

A scarf I remember my grandmother wearing with a white jacket and royal blue blouse. 

Grandpa's beloved cathode ray tube

My grandfather was Vice President of Thomas Electronics. His speciality was the cathode ray tube.

A simple portrait

My grandfather is now 88 years old. And though he probably weighs 30 pounds less than he was in this picture, his face remains the same.
